Please note we can no longer accept soft plastic bags, film or wrappers in the pink kerbside bags or collect single use pink sacks from streets that have been supplied with reusable bags. Households who use this service incorrectly will not have their plastics collected. This is necessary to maintain the high quality of materials collected so we can continue to recycle them.

Pink bag collection

You can use pink bags for plastics. We will collect them on your pink week.

Most areas of Swansea now have reusable pink bags to use for their plastic recycling collection. There are also some areas and households that are still required to use the single-use pink plastic bags.

If you have received a reusable pink bag please start using it straight away and stop using any single-use pink plastic bag. The plastics from each of these bags are collected by different vehicles and processed separately so it's important not to change from one bag to another unless you are instructed to do so by the council. If you use the incorrect bag your plastic may not be collected.

To ensure your bags are collected for recycling:

Use the pink bags that we provide for free

Put your bags out for collection between 7.00pm on the evening before your collection and 7.00am on the morning of your collection day
